[GT] Flames vs Canucks. Ortio vs Lack

[sureLoss]

wooo Ortio and Lack are confirmed starters

[Francis's Hairpiece]

That's awesome.

[Trailer Fire]

I've honestly never seen this much hockey before. I live in Craphole BC and the games were always on SNW or SNF. Now its SN1 or 360 etc etc. I know this is HNIC, but the point still stands. I love how much hockey I get to watch now! Hurray sports! Do the thing! Win the points!!

[SmoggyFlamesFan]

Let'a hope this young goalie can give us some hope and steer us back in the right direction. This team works too hard to not make the playoffs!

#Flames lines in warmup:
Gaudreau-Monahan-Colborne;
Glencross-Backlund-Byron;
Raymond-Granlund-Hudler;
Bouma-Stajan-Jones.
Bollig the extra

[Reggie Dunlop]

Expecting a most riveting sporting contest. The fellows donning the red, gold and black accented uniforms shall surely prevail.

[IgniteTheFlame]

Why split up Gaudreau/Hudler? Hmm, will be interesting to see how these lines work. I was expecting Backlund to centre Johnny & Huds.

Maybe The Avs being only one point behind them will light a fire under their butts

Johnny and Juri have made some magic, yes, but they haven't been playing well together lately. Best for Bob to mix it up.

[H2SO4(aq)]

I hope Backlund beats up Burrows.

#Flames scratch Smid, Raymond.

That means the previously posted lines are no longer valid.

#Flames Starting Lineup: @JoniOrtio, #TheCaptain, Brodie, Glencross, @Monahan20, Hudler

[Kidder]

Love how Hartley's decisions mirror the collective thoughts of CP. It's so nice seeing eye to eye with Flames management after years of frustrating confusion on personelle decisions.

Either way, that means Huds and Gaudreau are still on different lines, but we'll see how the experiment goes.

[Fire in the disco]

Absolute must win if they're going to be a playoff team. That, and I am sick of losing to Van. Let's get er done boys!!!!

[The_Future]

Ortio!

Hard to win puck battles in the corners with two small wingers on the same line.

[SmoggyFlamesFan]

Looks like Bollig draws back in.

[btimbit]

Ortio starting, love it

[AC]

Smid and Raymond are scratched.
